Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Easton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Environmental Advisory Committee consultation on projects
Councilwoman Zando-Dennis proposed the Environmental Advisory Committee be consulted before any project with environmental impact, similar to how the HDC reviews development — prompted by light-pollution concerns over Friends of Easton's downtown lighting plans. Council generally agreed the advisory input would be welcome.
Urban Heat and Air Quality Monitoring Project
Easton is partnering with Community Bike Works and Penn State on a $16,000 grant-funded project using bike-mounted sensors to track heat islands and air pollutants like particulate matter across the city.
